What the Critics Say

"Pimsleur programs provide plenty of positive reinforcement that will keep learners on track, and we found that Pimsleur gave us more proficiency and confidence in speaking the new language than any of the other language programs we reviewed." (AudioFile magazine)

This program lets you learn one short conversation at a time and it teaches you connective words to help you make your own sentences. I do the lessons every day for 30 min (I repeat each one twice because it helps me retain it better) and u feel I'm doing very well with my Italian!

Loved it. gets easier and easier... then harder and harder and you think you'll never get it. Then it clicks in again. And you've learned something else. Before long you will start thinking of the Italian word for the objects in your life. But you really need a speaker to practice with.
